The match is in Atlanta. Group H. Spain, the reigning European champions, with Rodri as captain. The kick-off time is perfect: 6 pm Swiss time.
To put it simply: the SSR holds the broadcasting rights for the World Cup in Switzerland. All matches are shown free of charge. In French-speaking Switzerland: RTS 2 or Play RTS. In German-speaking Switzerland: SRF zwei or Play SRF. In Italian-speaking Switzerland: RSI. Look no further.
You already know the rest. The jumper you sometimes wear and sometimes leave at home. Your Swiss friends who don’t quite understand why you care so much. The WhatsApp group that goes wild with every goal. The “How’s it going?” message that pops up from Spain as if you were sitting on your usual sofa.
Following Spain from Switzerland is just that: being in two places at once. And sometimes that’s a bit tiring. And sometimes, when things are going well, it’s actually quite nice.
How do you keep up with it?
